I agree that you did a fairly good job on your website. There are a couple of factors that I would consider in the value. According to the TAP NAAA guidelines the damage incurred in 1969 would not be considered superficial but instead it would be major. The avionics may be slightly high because of the value of the autopilot. In the final analysis there are many other 180s out there for less with lower times. That fact combined with the soft market means that you may have to get down closer to $45k to generate some interest. It is a good looking plane. Good luck.

Thanks guys for your help. We came to an agreed price that is in between the
two. It is higher than I would have paid if I was buying it outright, but since I am only buying 1/4 of the plane, the difference is not worth haggling over. The plane has been here, in a local partnership, for 20+ years. It has an established maintenance fund which adds value to the partnership. My A&P is familiar with it and tells me that it's been well maintained. The agreement that I made is contingent upon a pre-buy inspection by my A&P. It's not as capable as the Charger that I had, but I'll have a lot more money in my pocket when all is said and done. Greg (often reader, seldom poster) "GE" wrote in message ... Guys, thanks in advance for your help on this one. My airplane was lost in Katrina (more on that later), and I am looking at buying a quarter share of a local plane. I am trying to get a decent idea of the valuation of the aircraft, which is a '79 Archer II. I have run the numbers on both the National Aircraft Appraiser Association (NAAA) through Trade-a-Plane and the AOPA's website, Vref. The NAAA is much more thorough, allowing you to define each avionic, specify damage history, exact times for engine and prop. The Vref is much less comprehensive. The results are vastly different. The NAAA values the airplane at $61K while Vref values it at $73K. I didn't expect them to be exactly the same, but that is a huge difference. I suspect that the true market value is somewhere in between, but where? Any ideas? |
